    Good for you. If you don't do powerlifting, it's the better deadlift variant in every way

      The point of a deadlift is that it's a hinge movement. If you take that away you might as well just do squat variations.

        Fricking moron, you can use a trap bar for hinge, but if you're to stupid to do it, well, frick yourself!!

          I mean you can, but it's a more awkward movement than just bending over and picking a barbell up like a non-moronic person

            Trap bar DL is far closer to conventional than sumo.

              True, but sumo isn't a deadlift either. Whole point of a deadlift is that it's a hip hinge into a standing position, if you're doing the autism splits after lockout it isn't a deadlift.
              Trap bars are still suboptimal for a hinge movement though because getting your shoulders in line with the centreline of the bar requires more knee flexion.

        hinge/squat is a continuum and the trap bar lets you pick where you want to be on it. this is particularly useful if you're basically doing one big lower body lift, for example if you're working on running and don't want to allocate enough recovery budget to both squat and deadlift.

        also, trap bar carries are pretty based.

          That is exactly what I'm looking for. Sold.

        Squats are painful and don't work with my anatomy, I was thinking of just doing a bullshit amount of hexbar deadlifts instead since it works the same muscles and I can get grip gainz.
        Besides hernia maxxing, does it sound like a bad idea? Trying to do hack squats but I'm noticing hip and adductor instability

        Trap bar is more of a deadlift than sumo.

    high bar DLs are the perfect DL variation for bros. Easy on the back, more weight to overload the trips and forearm. What more would an upper body bro want?

    Trap bars are dangerous because they swing

    Also they're just squats

    Not even squats, leg presses with an isometric shrug

    Do real barbell lifts
